Post-punk genre playlist

- Sub-genres:
About 9,500 tracks from Spotify's post-punk genre - bit of a mishmash, since Spotify seems to define post-punk a bit more broadly than Wikipedia's definition:
Post-punk is a rock music movement with its roots in the late 1970s, following on the heels of the initial punk rock explosion of the mid-1970s. The genre retains its roots in the punk movement but is more introverted, complex and experimental.[1] Post-punk laid the groundwork for alternative rock by broadening the range of punk and underground music, incorporating elements of Krautrock (particularly the use of synthesizers and extensive repetition), Jamaican dub music (specifically in bass guitar), American funk, studio experimentation, and even punk's traditional polar opposite, disco, into the genre. It found a firm place in the 1980s indie scene, and led to the development of genres such as gothic rock, industrial music and alternative rock.
